This party believes in the two state solution a palestinian state along side a safe and secure israel. But this safe and secure israel. But this action by hamas does nothing for palestine liens, and israel must always have the right to defend her people. Her people.

Were on twitter, media at gb twitter, social media at gb news. Now, were going to start with the ongoing war in israel , with the ongoing war in israel, in gaza. Its continuing for a fourth day and we have our gb News ReporterCharlie Peters, who live from tel aviv. I who is live from tel aviv. I believe hes with us now. Charlie thank you very much for joining us at the top of the show. What have you learned since youve been in tel aviv . Since youve been in tel aviv . Well, today has been an extraordinary day of death and destruction on the casualty figures now hurtling into the thousands on both sides. And this has definitely become a complex and multi fronted war in northern lebanon , in southern northern lebanon, in southern lebanon, sorry, northern israel, in the south of israel , on the in the south of israel, on the border with gaza, and even up to tel aviv where we are there have been attacks, both small arms fire and rockets. Theres been artillery from the idf back into hamas controlled areas and air strikes into gaza. But there have also been more disturbing reports in the south of israel where this morning the government claimed it had secured its border with gaza. That now appears to have not been the case in the last hour or two. Terrorists were killed in mefalsim and another was killed in sderot. Areas that the idf claimed they had cleared with paratroopers. It now seems that that might not be the case as more violence continues in the last half hour, meeting with troops, defence minister yoav galant said that he had released all restraints and that israel was now going into a full offence. Now for people in gaza, this will obviously be extremely concerned as the number of People Killed there approaches 1000 as targeted airstrikes are launched. But when some of the atrocities become made aware and some of the information coming out of southern israel reaches the ainnaves, the reason for that kind of statement will become more clear , i think, to become more clear, i think, to onlookers in the last hour, we have heard reports of up to 40 babies being killed in a kibbutz in southern israel. I think this is the most Shocking Development of all of the Shocking Developments we have heard today. It goes beyond and the standard massacre and murder that has become commonplace since saturday. It is a new level of depravity. Many of the people that ive spoken to today fleeing from southern israel, fleeing from southern israel, fleeing from southern israel, fleeing from those kibbutzes is reflecting in great misery and shock at that news. The reports there from the israeli ambulances and indeed the idf soldiers who cleared out that kibbutz. Its a its a devastating development. Devastating development. Thank you, charlie. Yes, extreme devastating reports. If they turn out to be true , you they turn out to be true, you say that israel will be launching a full offence. What launching a full offence. What does that mean . What is that likely to mean . Were already seeing targeted airstrikes onto the gaza area. What else could the gaza area. What else could we. See we. See well, in the last 24 hours, as the hamas side, they have launched many targeted rocket attacks into israel , reaching attacks into israel, reaching ashkelon, where they offered a warning an hour before they sent rockets in there. The Palestinian Islamic jihad in southern lebanon also launched rockets into northern israel and the israeli side have reacted with with dozens and hundreds of airstrikes into gaza, especially along the coastline. But the development that is likely now over the next 24 to 48 hours is a ground assault into the gaza strip. This hasnt happened by strip. This hasnt happened by Israeli Defence forces since 2014, but its understood that with the restraints being removed, as the defence minister says , as and as more israeli says, as and as more israeli troops amass on that southern border with gaza, which appears porous, with terrorists crossing over and that a more direct Ground Invasion is likely into the strip. And this will of the strip. And this will of course mean more death and more destruction and much more conflict. Conflict. Thank you very much indeed, Charlie Peters there, our reporter live from tel aviv, israel , reporter live from tel aviv, israel, bringing us the very latest on what is escalating between israel and hamas. Is between israel and hamas. Is bringing in my panel on this. Ben, ill start with you. Just ben, ill start with you. Just reacting to what charlie has said. Huge numbers of deaths now, rumours, reports of babies being killed. What is your being killed. What is your reaction to how this is unfolding so well , the first unfolding so well, the first thing to identify is that this has all the hallmarks of a massive order terrorist attack. Massive order terrorist attack. Hamas may be ostensibly the government of gaza, but they have perpetrated this attack in the manner of a terrorist. One. They havent had any specific grievance that theyve aired. They havent targeted any military installation in israel. Theyve gone in theyve gone in big and theyve killed innocent women and children. Theyve targeted that party. Theyve taken a human wall of defence back with them into gaza. So that if israel attacks, theyve got i think theyve threatened to behead people in public if israel attacks them without warning in gaza and theyre continuing to target civilian populations. All of this is terrorism. None of this is, you know, what you might regard as a genuine war. And so the question that we have to ask ourselves, i think, is why would hamas suddenly go out for this full frontal terrorist assault of israel now, which they know is going to result in a massive reprisal and a rightjustified , reprisal and a rightjustified, completely supported by the west reprisal . And i think the answer to that, we cant know for sure what the answers are. But i think i suspect the answers to that lie outside palestine. And really in the relationship that israel was so close to getting with saudi and saudi and israel for the first time were going to well , saudi was for the first time were going to well, saudi was going to recognise israel as existence. There was a promise of more armaments, uranium development, Nuclear Development for saudi if it did recognise israel and i think iran saw the sort of proxy battles that theyve been having with saudi through the middle east for hegemony of the middle east for hegemony of the middle east moving decidedly in saudis favour and over the last 24 hours, not surprisingly , saudi hours, not surprisingly, saudi has now cancelled its arrangements with israel and i think its been a big geopolitical victory for iran. So we have to look very carefully at iran and of course, we know iran is very closely allied with russia. So i suspect allied with russia. So i suspect russia has a hand in all of this as well. As well. Ella, i think William Hague wrote in the times this morning that he thought the motivation on the part of hamas would be to provoke such a strong response from israel that israel might lose on the side of Public Opinion, essentially for retaliating in such a deemed harsh way way. Could that be what we see happen . Its i mean, what we see happen . Its i mean, its terrible. We look at the bloodshed that is now on both sides. How do you bloodshed that is now on both sides. How do you think bloodshed that is now on both sides. How do you think israel sides. How do you think israel can respond while keeping Public Opinion on side . Well, i think its really important to think carefully about how we in the west respond to this. And i dont think its possible or reasonable to compare the two what the actions of israel and the actions of hamas and the you know, the reactions of israel, because we have to be pretty clear that hamas is involved in an and interested and invested in the mass destruction of jews. This isnt any longer. You mass destruction of jews. This isnt any longer. You know, mass destruction of jews. This isnt any longer. You know, i think clearly related to palestinian liberation movement. Its not you know, its the questions of sovereignty and things like that which are very relevant and important to debate in that region. Have have, you in that region. Have have, you know , kind of been put by the know, kind of been put by the wayside by the recent actions, you know, and a Group Interested in liberating people doesnt go around allegedly beheading babies. Well, this is this is the problem. And were going to be talking about how this has played out on our own streets, unfortunately. And they do seem to many people this to be many people in this country that hamas country who believe that hamas are freedom fighters. And i are freedom fighters. And i think people need remind , adding think people need remind, adding that hamas does not want does not want freedom for the palestinians. It wants the destruction of the jewish state and ergo the jewish people. Hamas is a classifier , a hamas is a classifier, a terrorist organisation by the british government. So theres no doubt about how we see hamas in this country. No doubt about how we see hamas in this country. And i do find in this country. And i do find it quite disturbing that anyone, frankly, in this country would support hamas. I can understand id sympathy for the 2. 3 Million People in gaza who live who have lived for many , many years lived for many, many years effectively in a kind of semi siege environment. But that doesnt forgive for a second. Hamas his actions and the way hamas his actions and the way hamas goes about about its business. And i would urge anyone in this country who has anyone in this country who has any support for hamas to think very carefully. Again, hamas very carefully. Again, hamas does not equate to palestinians. Palestinians are not represented by hamas and the other thing to point out, i suppose just moving slightly on is wasnt Suella Braverman speech on multiculturalism in this country not working . Prescient you know, she made that speech a couple of weeks ago. She reiterated it at the she made that in washington. And she made that in washington. And she reiterated it at the conservative Party Conference. And here we have clear evidence of people on the streets of london who dont see this problem the way they i would expect british people with British Values to see it, which is an outrageous attack on a peaceful nation that was minding its own business. Theres a kind of anger and its an anger thats being expressed not from a british perspective, but from a british perspective, but from a non british one, which means these people are here not feeling british. Do you think what weve seen on the streets is evidence that multiculturalism is failing . Multiculturalism is failing . Uh, i dont think its right to call israel a peaceful nation that was minding its own business. Well, it was at this point in time, but but think this is time, but but i think this is the important thing, being able to untangle part of the problem of anti semitism of the rampant anti semitism that in west as that were seeing in the west as of in particular, in of actually in particular, in rising the west, is rising levels in the west, is because inability of because of the inability of people to untangle all what is been happening in relation to whatjake been happening in relation to what jake wallace simons, the editor of the jewish chronicle, labelled israel a phobia. Yeah, but but, you know, there are debates to b
